General Information

Licences take effect the date they are issued. A home inspector’s licence expires on the last day of the 24th month after the licence is issued. The home inspection business and the home inspector are responsible to ensure your licence is in force as long as you continue to do business as defined for this type of licence. Once your licence is issued the home inspection business and the home inspector should make note of the expiry date and ensure your licence is renewed prior to this date. Licence holders must notify Service Alberta in writing if their business licence address changes.

A home inspector must have a licence and shall produce his or her home inspector licence and a copy of the home inspection business licence for inspection, or provide details about those licences, that make it possible to determine if the person is licensed when requested to do so by a consumer or potential consumer, the person whose home is being inspected, an inspector or the Director, or a peace officer.
